  Is there 2 different 'operating systems' eg Linux or Microsoft to insert into the box for fault finding and updating ? and if so which is the best or easyist ?

  Thanks Herman, Do you have a circuit for inserting them next to the 'atmeg8' chip as I am about to insert everything into the veroboard.

  So data transfer then !  I could spend another 5 hrs finding out what all the other abreviations mean.  they use it to flash the program in then, thanks for that.

Hi Mick, on my diagrams there are no LEDS showing, do you have an update circuit diagram that I can follow- TA

 ;)Hi lads, I have a atmega8 chip now ( RS - DIL ) so I am just going down the route of chopping some veroboard up and soldering the chip sockets in place etc, whats the 'JTAG' connector normally used for ? does it normally have a chip soldered in place ? or is it just a connection point. sparky

  you would also have to be fairly good at soldering as the point for the reset wire is a very small pad ! not done it yet myself as I am waiting for a chip ( RS )

Hi 'xmob' how much do you charge for the chips inc p+p as I fancy doing the mod ( v good soldering ) I have just downloaded the info etc.Latest - I have bought the chip and am getting around to building the circuit.

  First of all must go out and buy a atmega 8 chip, is it the standard DIL version and does it have any prefixes on the end as there are various types ? is  '16pu' OK.
Ps the box is a DIT 9719/05 if that helps ? do differant models require differant software ?

Hi all, I bought a bt vision box yesterday at a car boot sale and then powered it up at home and it had a NL01 ? fault code and a message to contact BT, I have just printed the wiki so have not read it fully yet, where do you get the ATMEGA8 chip from ? I presume its an EEPROM and if so how do you program it ?
